Checkout The Telsa Cybertruck Car Which Was Inspired By James Bond Movie - PHOTOS

The CEO of Telsa, Elon Musk has tweeted that the Cybertruck design was partly influenced by the Lotus Esprit sportscar that doubled as a submarine in the 1970s James Bond film "The Spy" who loved me. The result is what looks like a low-poly blade runner fantasy.

The battery-powered pickup seats six inside a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton. Tesla says every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from the ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless steel to the Tesla armour glass. This didn’t stop the windows from shattering during a failed resistance test during the launch.

Tesla plans to offer three variants of the Cybertruck with the cheapest version starting at $39,000. It will feature a single motor and rear-wheel drive, with have a towing capacity of 7,500 pounds and more than 250 miles of range. The middle version will be a dual-motor all-wheel drive, have a towing capacity of more than 10,000 pounds and be able to travel more than 300 miles on a single charge, priced at $49,900.

Finally, a third version boasts three electric motors and all-wheel, a towing capacity of 14,000 pounds and a battery range of more than 500 miles. This version, known as ‘tri-motor’ is priced at $69,900 and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6.5 seconds. Tesla says production is expected to begin in late 2021.

The New Electric Mercedes-Benz Simplex Concept Is A Replica Of Its Old Car

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a vision simplex concept car that reinterprets the historic simplex as an electric two-seater with freestanding wheels and a digital display in place of the grille. The German manufacturer unveiled the updated take on its 120-year-old design at the Mercedes’ new design centre in Nice, France, on Saturday (September 16th).

The name Simplex comes from the line of luxury simplex cars that Mercedes produced from 1902 to 1909. At that time, the simplex had innovatively adopted a modern front-engine, rear-drive layout with a radiator positioned ahead of the engine.

Like the original, the reimagined model features rounded shapes and large wheels that sit outside the body. Meanwhile, the radiator blends a dominant frame in rosé gold with an opening in the form of a large lens-shaped 3D display that displays the vintage Mercedes logo.

Inside the car, a minimal cockpit displays context-sensitive info like speed and navigation through projections. A steering column, switches, and instrument panel are inspired by motorcycles and nautical design. The colour-and-trim concept, including the Azure blue upholstery cover which transitions seamlessly into the footwell, is inspired by the colours of the Côte d'Azur.

It's unlikely that a production version of the Simplex will ever exist unless Mercedes-Benz decided to update the concept with headlights and some other basic safety features. this is more an illustration of mercedes’ ability to merge the history of its DNA with the technology of today: ‘only a brand that is as strong as Mercedes-Benz is capable of the physical symbiosis of history and future. the ‘vision Mercedes simplex’ symbolises the transformation of the brand-specific luxury of Mercedes-Benz’, says chief design officer Gorden Wagener.
